Recently, RFID technology has attracted considerable attention in many industry fields. The RFID environment requires a standard architecture for the smooth exchange of data between heterogeneous networks. The architecture should offer an efficient standard environment, such as a communication environment based on Web Services, PKI or Kerberos-based security, and abstract business processes which could be used in the diverse domains. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an Enterprise Application Framework (EAF) which includes a standard communication protocol, security functions, and abstract level business processes. The suggested architecture is expected to provide a more secure and flexible security management in the dynamic RFID application environments, and is expected to provide an abstract business event for the development of business processes which could apply RFID technology to the existing systems.

ABOUT THE SOCIETY

Ever since information processing became one of the most important industries in the country, computing professionals have encountered a growing number of challenges.
Along with scholars and colleagues in related fields, they have gathered together at a variety of forums and meetings over the last few decades to share their knowledge and experiences,
and the outcomes of their research. These exchanges led to the founding of the Korea Information Processing Society (KIPS) on January 15, 1993. The KIPS was registered as an incorporated association under the Ministry of Science,
ICT and Future Planning under the government of the Republic of Korea. The main purpose of the KIPS organization is to improve our society by achieving the highest capability possible in the domain of information technology.
As such, it focuses on close collaboration with the nationâs industry, academic, and research communities to foster technological innovation,
to enhance its members' careers, and to promote the advanced information processing industry.
